Modern adhesion theory applied on coating and gluing of wood. : Analysis of the interaction between wood and high solid linseed oil paint.

This work describes the requirements for the interaction between wood and linseed oil paint with regard to "modem adhesion theory", i.e. known as Lewis acid-base theory. After a short introduction about linseed oil as binder in paint, results from an investigation of the surface tension properties for linseed oil will bepresented. Finally, the total interaction between linseed oil paint and wood will be discussed.
